Afforestation priority for multiple objectives at national scale: Italy as a case study
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Afforestation is increasingly recognized as a key strategy to address climate change and ecological degradation, offering multiple ecosystem services. However, strategic planning is needed to ensure that afforestation actions are ecologically effective and economically efficient by targeting areas where ecosystem service provision

Suitability of ground-based SfM-MVS for monitoring glacial and periglacial processes [PDF]
, 2016 Photo-based surface reconstruction is rapidly emerging as an alternative survey technique to lidar (light detection and ranging) in many fields of geoscience fostered by the recent development of computer vision algorithms such as structure from motion ...

Quantitative analysis of channel characteristics of distributive fluvial systems
Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Distributive fluvial systems (DFSs) are characterised by a radial distributive channel pattern in planform and dominate modern‐day sedimentary basins. Where aggradation occurs, such as in sedimentary basins, there is increased preservation potential, and therefore, DFSs are hypothesised to constitute a significant portion of the continental ...

Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2019 Glaciers have significant influence on hydrology, vegetation, and wildlife in mountainous regions, and are receding globally. To quantify the impacts of sustained glacier loss, we mapped a complete set of glacier areas from the Little Ice Age (LIA) using

Effects of seasonability and variability of streamflow on nearshore coastal areas: final report [PDF]
, 1977 General nature and scope of the study: This study examines the variability of streamflow in all gaged Alaskan rivers and streams which terminate in the ocean. Forty-one such streams have been gaged for varying periods of time by the U. S.

Models of ice melting and edifice growth during subglacial basaltic eruptions. [PDF]
, 2007 Models of the early stages of basaltic eruptions beneath temperate glaciers are presented that consider the evolving sizes of volcanic edifices emplaced within subglacial cavities.

Improved representation of laminar and turbulent sheet flow in subglacial drainage models
Journal of GlaciologySubglacial hydrology models struggle to reproduce seasonal drainage patterns that are consistent with observed subglacial water pressures and surface velocities. We modify the standard sheet-flow parameterization within a coupled sheet–channel subglacial

Application of LANDSAT imagery for snow mapping in Norway [PDF]
The author has identified the following significant results. It was shown that if the snow cover extent was determined from all four LANDSAT bands, there were significant differences in results.
